Model: vauxhall chevette Year: 1978 Tax: few months MOT: few months Location: Witham, Essex Price: 600 Additional Information: Ok, second try, last one was deleted by mods because it didnt have a price. have had this since last summer, droped a new engine in it a few weeks ago but now its showing symptoms of the head gasket going. looks like it needs the bottom end skimming or another lump dropped in. its got no back seats (but will come with the car) because of the harnesses and cut springs. turns heads wherever it goes. would love to keep it but need to settle some debts so need it gone no idea what its worth so its up for 600 as its a tidy shell   ta

whats the wings like round the front lights as Vaux had a recall in 1987 as the sealant around them turned to sponge and they rotted out. All Vaux did was add some spring ( too late after owning mine as I managed 2 ditches and a tree stump in one go )

Don't like stretched tyres, very low profile tyres & I think a car CAN be too low. Perhaps I'm odd.

colour = Orange Tan  Head gasket failure would be very unusual on one of these. What are the symptoms? Valve clearance (tappets) are easy to set. |
